Terrible game terrible soundtrack

>>7373987
oh no

i love the fast paced arpeggios and attention to melody honestly

>>7373718
music has not gotten worse, pop music has always been bad. if you pay attention to the music scene below the surface music is always evolving and becoming more technical and involved, music doesnt get worse its just whats popular. game music has stayed relatively samey, with the peaks being stuff like battle garegga and unreal tournament and streets of rage 2, games that actually took influence from non pop genres like house and drum and bass.

>>7373718
>grunge was a huge source for games like DOOM

No. 100% false. Metal and grunge were not only polar opposites, they were practically enemies.

The reason older video game music was better is because musicians (in general) used to have more training and technical skill. That has utterly collapsed in recent decades.

tldr this gay shit for me please thanks.

nirvana started the trend of "shitty = good"
japan ignored this and stayed good

>>7375418
nirvana isnt shitty, and dicksucking japan doesn't make you look smart to anybody actually into music faggot. nirvana purposely were DIY, its a fluke that they blew up, and returned to a purer form with in utero. knowing your type however you probably have not bothered to listen to it and instead just dickride japs for everything.

>>7375423
i wasnt the one who posted it lel but i read it just to give you a tldr

>>7375430
thanks based tldr anon. i hate when goobers just post gay text walls.

>>7375423
Nirvana IS complete shit though. It was badly played buttrock that tricked faggots into thinking it was "deep" and DIY, which was a lie since the grunge scene was a creation of recording company execs. No style and no substance, Kurt Cobain should have shot himself, his wife and the rest of the band in 1987.

>>7375585
it literally was deep to some extent, maybe not nevermind but in utero is hard to listen to because of what came directly after it's release. i doubt steve albini would help produce something if it was as soulless as you are trying to make it out to be faggot. take some time and learn music history and then come back and try to sound smart on something faggot.

>>7375592
music history is meaningless.

>>7375601
you will get the rope eventually.

>Only meaning is consume product and then get excited for more product

>>7375606
lemme rephrase that: music history has value, but has no relevance to the quality of music.
>>7375675
i'm no mindless consumer.

>>7375404
>MUH BEETLES

>>7375404
Japanese music has, like, one chord progression, and it's disco. So yeah, they're definitely the ones who preserved the musical traditions

>>7373718
>Who wants to be inspired by rap and soundcloud for their game soundtrack?
exactly right. nobody is inspired by that shit because it's written by talentless nobodies that only have the ability to take pre-recorded samples and sequence 808 drum patterns.

He either looks exactly like that or he's one of these guys.

>>7375423
Nirvana always was and still is fucking garbage

>>7375948
Is that supposed to be an insult?

>>7375404
You're getting hate because you told the truth.

Cringe: The Post
>>7375768
Imagine getting triggered by the first band mentioned.
>>7375826
Technically wrong, but I'll allow it because disco was at least melodic.

>Play better games.
FF13's soundtrack is 10/10 but the game itself is shit.

>>7373718
Maybe. Personally I can't stand ambient stuff in a lot of newer games.

>>7376307
